Even in the later periods of that disease, the cough is wonderfully relieved by this medicine. "I have used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral with the best effect in my practice. This wonderful preparation once saved, my life. I bad a constant cough, night sweats, was greatly reduced in flesh, and given up by my physician. One bottle and a half of the Pectoral cured me."—A. J. Eidson, M. D., Middleton, Tennessee. "Several years ago I was severely ill. The doctors said I was in consumption, and that they could do nothing for me, but advised me as a last resort, to try Ayer's Cherry rPectoral. After taking this medicine two or three months 7 was cured, and my health remains good to the present day."—James Bixchard, Darien, Conn. " Several years ago, on a passage home from California, by water, I contracted so severe a cold that for some days I was confined to my state -room, and a physician on board considered my life in manger.

Wednesday August 5th, 1891. A Ml'I:I)EItED GILL, now 'I'lE I'Uult GIRL 'tS ALLEGED TO RAVE nEEN FOUND IIY HER FATHER. Sophia Handcock, the dead girl was a young woman of 32 years of age. Her father, Edward T. Hand- cock, a utas of 55 years of age, settled 16 years ago iu Seaton village, in the ueighburhood of Toronto, and lar that time he has kept a sture there and been post- • tus:}tei'. 1 i;tile evttr a year ago the lather started a brant-{rstore at Failbank, only a short distance from Seaton village, and hinlsuif, wife and Sophia removed to it. The girl was given almost absolute" charge ul the bueieeae. With her father and mother, Sophia joined the Presbyterian church at Fair - bank. The throe were held by their neighbors to be all devout Christians. On the morning of the tragedy Mrs. Handcock left the store at Feirbauk about 10 o'clock to visit the store in Seaton village. She took with her a son 12 years of age, leaving old man Handcock and Sophia alone. No one is known to have gone to the store from that time till Mrs. Deltofl• and Mrs. O'Brien entered it in response to Haudcock's call. At 11.20 a. in. the latter ran out of the store across the road to Mrs. Dekolr's house, and told her to come to his house, as his daughter was bleeding. Mrs. O'Brien, who lives a quarter of a mile way, was also summoned, and these ladies were the first neighbors to see the wounded girl lying on the floor of the little dining..reorn just behind the store. In one corner of the shop, behind the counter, and immediately in front of the door leading from the dining room, is the trap door leading to the cellar. This is about three feet square. On top of the trap rusted a pail half filled with butter, and between the girl and the trap was a •door mat. These thiugs the women noted. The girl lay in the dining room, her feet towards the trap, and these 11 feet away from the edge of the trap door. The girl lay on her face, scarcely breathing, and a crim- son tide flowing from a large wound on the' loft top side of her head. Her hair, a towel and a pillow, on which her head rested, were clotted with blood. A few inches from the girl's feet was a rug partially rolled up, and farther on toward the trap were some blood • stains. The tell-tale stains, which cannot bo removed, ar-i yet to be seen in the almost worn -ant carpet which covers the floor. Isaac Dullery, a witness at the coroner's inquest, said he thought that the body had been dragged across the floor from the trap. The wounded girl lived 13i- hours 3-hours after receiving her terrible injuries and then passed away, without having recovered conscious- ness, and thus disappeared the last hope of .thp public ever hearing how she carne to her depth. Dr. Harrington conducted the post- mortem, and found the wound was largo enough to Admit of the inser tion of two fingers. It was nearly three-quarters of au inch wide, about two inches in length and three and a half inches deep. Its peculiar formation gives the doctors the idea that it was made with a common lathing hammer. Dr. Machell was present with Dr. Har rington when the post-mortem -was made, and he concurs in Dr. Har rington's opinion that the wound must have been made with a hammer, or at least could not have been caused by a fall. Mr. Handcock was greatly exciter ' when he brought in the neighbors. Re afterwards told the following story in substance : "I entered the house shortly after my wife left for Seaton village, expecting to ind my accustomed cup of tea ready. It was not, and seeing my daughter busy I went out again to my hoeing in the garden, I went into the house again, I .cannot tell how long I was absent, and nearly fell over the prostrate body of my girl. The room was rather dark, the blinds being down ; and thinking she had fainted I got a basin of water with which to bathe her head. As soon as I lifted her head I was horrified to discover a ragged hole in it, and that it was covered with blood. I immediately summoned assistance. I cannot imagine how my daughter cattle to her death, except that she must have struck her head against the unlifted trap door while she was walking towards it, probably carrying the pail of butter in her hand.; Mrs. Handcock arrived at 11 30, and took the news and sight of her daughter's injury very coolly. She assisted the doctors to drew the wound, but said little. The coluu- er's jury, of which the foreman was -the pastor of the church IIandcock alteuded, returned au open void ict of murder against some person or persons unknown.! The murdered girl has been buried but her skull was taken possession of by Coroner Johnston who now has the ghastly relic iu his possession. The father and mother have both been arrested and committed to York county gaol on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of their daughter to secure $1000 fur which the girl's life was insured.

She hes, however, fouud ou. a grand remedial agent, for the cure of her diseases, in Dr. Pieree's h'ev- orite l'tecrip'iou ; a medicine united to her nature, made for the express care those diseases which affect her.

Todd, of Evans- ville, who preached at the Taber- nacle church yesterday, is a guest of M. V. McGillierd, and in con- versation with a reporter remarked that he was over seventy years old and not in'ver'y good shape, as his right side was paralyzed. At this he showed his right hand, upon which the fiugera were shrunken, hooked and distorted, and remarked that it all came about through a rattlean eke. •k 'Five years ago,' said Ile, July 6, while on my farm at 'Tuscola, Ill., I wits bitten by a rattlesnake.' 'Did you drink whiskey as an antidote I' asked the reporter. 'Tuscola was a prohibition town, and I was a prohibitionist. It was impossible to procure whiskey— that is, for prohibitionists—and the poison had almost done its work before any could be procured. I owe my life to a son of Belie' named Joseph Smith, who lived about four miles away. He had whiskey and furnished me some, which, as I said, probably saved my life.' Mr. Todd isnot the uncompromis- ing prohibitionist ,. he once was He thinks the doctrine can be carried to dangerous extreme, and cites his own experience—Indiana polis Journal. Anvres To MOTHERS.

'1'11E NOVI'.I, WAY IN \yllI' ll 'I'llE F1tOG's RIVAL GETS 111D 0F COVERING. NEEDLESS It is safe to say hunt few people have ever been fortunate enough to catch a toad in Ihit act of changing his skin, A man who professes to have been an interested eye -witness to such a transactii n dest:ribee the novel operation. The toad pressed his elbows against his sides downward. After a few smart rubs his skin began to buret open along- his back, but he appeared to be unconcerned, an -1 kept on rubbing until he had tvoik• ed his skin iutu folds on his sides and hips. Then grasping one hind log with his forelegs, he pulled the skin from the lo, as slick as a man would re- move a pail' of pants, then stripped the other hind leg in the same way. He' next took the cast -eft' portion of his cuticle anti pulled it for- ward between his forelegs until he could catch it in his month, where- upon he lurtllu'ith began to swallow it ; then by raising and lowering his head, swallowing as the head bent forward each time,,he strpiped off the skin underneath until it came to his forelegs, At this stage of the curious pro- ceedings he grasped one of the fore- legs with the opposite pow, and by much pulling stripped off the akin ; changing hands, he stripped the oth- er, and by a slight motion of the head, all the thee swallowing, he drew it from the neck and swallow- ed the whole. The entire operation occupied but a few minutes. THE GUN WAS LOADED. One of the most unhappy fatalit- ies that has occurred in Toronto for some time took place Wednesday morning on the west side of Grand avenue, Robt. Gowdy, a lad of 16, employed as a message boy by Tail- or Ames, was despatched by his em- ployer to the residence of Jacob B. Tripp, for a long -barreled gallery pistol, with a shoulder attachment of it -on made to resemble a rifle stock. On the way hack he permit ted another boy to examine the gun, and on reaching the place named above, whore Levi L. Annabel, of 234 Lippincott street, was working on a couple of unfinished houses, he allowed the workman on request to have a look at it. Annabel placed the end of the barrel unser his left eye to look down the barrel, when suddenly the weapon, which none of them supposed to be loaded, ex- ploded, and the Workman with an awful cry fell back on the sidewalk with a bullet in his brain. Blood oozed slowly from the small circu- lar holo under the eye where the. bullet entered. Young Gowdy was paralyzed with horror and fear and was unable to move. Fellow -work- men of Annabel carried him to the lawn in front of a neighboring house and I)r. G. G. Row was speed- ily in attendance. It was in vain, however. The poor fellow was be- yond human aid, and within fifteen minutes he was a corpse. The un- fortunate lad feels hie position keen- ly. He protests he did not touch the trigger and cannot understand the gun going off. He says he never had a fire arm in his hand be- fore. A brother-in-law of deceased was one of his fellow -workmen on the building and be broke the news of the terrible tragedy to the ,berea- ved family', consisting of a widow and three children. .L7..R,7.N 1�.1O1 ' OROAN «L' RBE Given Away With Baking Powder.
